“Now I must share that the past 2 years have been quite humbling. Following my divorce and a significant job loss, I had no alternative but to seek services. I am happy to say that the assistance I received over the past year, through the Gifts of Love program, truly filled the gaps (and the cabinets, closets and freezer), that would have had the potential to turn into gaping holes!

Year in Review
“My daughter and I would like to thank you for all of your assistance that you extended this pastsummer/fall. I especially appreciated the kindness of the staff that made coming to Gifts of Love such a positive experience. Be proud – you are all wonderful people! As a domestic abuse survivor, I could not imagine making my initial steps toward independence alone and was quite overwhelmed at the prospect. Fortunately, I haven’t had to. Gifts of Love has been a crucial and much appreciated hand of help during this time, one that I will never ever forget. Thank you so very much!”

  I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am for your sincere help. .. I truly appreciate it. I never knew some one would help me because I had a job! J I love my job at the school. It doesn’t pay a lot but the smiles and love that I receive from my students are priceless! May God bless all of you and your families, always.

Our Mission
The mission of Gifts of Love is “To help meet the basic needs of individuals and families experiencing a temporary financial crisis so they can achieve or maintain self-sufficiency.”
Our clients are hard working people who simply can't make ends meet

 Gifts of Love serves families who are facing a short-term crisis in their lives; the loss of a job, reduced work hours, illness, divorce, death of a mate, and domestic abuse but do not qualify for government support. By helping people meet their families most basic needs - food on the table, a winter coat, or a bed to sleep in - we enable them to focus on putting their lives back in order and regaining their financial independence.
This basic mission has become increasingly difficult with the recent welfare reform program, sluggish economy and the rapid rise in the cost of basic needs such as home heating oil and gas prices.
Many people have no other resources except Gifts of Love to help provide for their children.
